A Soundtrack for Life
Our lives are punctuated by a diverse array of melodies, each song serving as a sonic bookmark for significant chapters. The first dance at a wedding, the rhythm of a road trip, or the lullaby that cradled us to sleep – these musical imprints become a personalized soundtrack for our journey through time.

In this episode we explore how music functions in our brain, specifically the ability of music to evoke emotions and how this has strong implications for our memory.
